Top 8 hen party houses
Date published: 12 Jun 2026
Planning a celebration that gets everyone together in one place? The right base can make all the difference!
Hen weekends come in all shapes and sizes. Some groups want hot tubs and cocktail-making opportunities, others are happier with countryside walks followed by a long dinner and a late-night games session. Whatever the plan, having everyone under one roof keeps things easy and means less time organising, more time enjoying it.
We’ve rounded up some brilliant hen do cottages and larger group stays across the UK, from coastal escapes to countryside retreats and party-ready properties packed with entertainment
Tiny but important note before you dive in: we’ve chosen properties that say they welcome hen parties, or haven’t said they don’t. House rules can change though, so always double-check before booking and save everyone an awkward "surprise guests?" conversation later.
Ship Inn, Old Colwyn, North Wales
Big group energy? The Ship Inn has it covered. Sleeping up to 34 guests, there’s room for the whole gang without anyone ending up squeezed into an awkward corner. The layout is made for spending time together too, with a huge dining area for long dinners, drinks and all the stories that somehow get louder as the evening goes on.
There’s plenty to keep everyone entertained, from the cinema projector and pool table to separate lounge spaces for spreading out. Location helps too, with pubs, shops and the beach all within walking distance. Spacious, sociable and built for memorable group stays.
The Blue Bell, Burton Agnes, East Yorkshire
The Blue Bell knows how to handle a crowd. Sleeping up to 50 guests across 18 bedrooms and a bunk room, it’s got that sweet spot of feeling sociable without everyone being piled into the same space. There’s a huge central room that doubles as a dining and games area, so whether it’s a big meal, a pool tournament or a night that gradually gets louder, there’s room for it all.
The extras do some heavy lifting too. Think hot tub, on-site pub, cosy snug with an open fire and a garden made for gathering outside. Big on space, big on atmosphere and made for memorable group getaways.
5 Bed Cottage, Westward Ho!, North Devon
This place has the sort of setup that makes group trips feel easy. Sleeping 10 guests across five stylish bedrooms, there’s enough space for everyone to spread out without losing that "all together" feeling. The reverse-level layout puts the big open-plan living space right at the top, so sea views become part of the background from morning coffee through to evening drinks.
There’s plenty to keep the group entertained too, with a games room for pool, table tennis and darts, plus balconies and outdoor spaces made for catching the last bit of evening sun. Add in the beach, shops and restaurants all within walking distance, and you’ve got a group stay with very little effort required.
Holly Grove House, Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire
Holly Grove House feels like the kind of place where group weekends naturally spill into long breakfasts, late-night chats and "one more drink" moments. Sleeping 12 guests, there’s plenty of room to spread out, with two separate living spaces meaning nobody has to fight over the playlist, film choice or comfy corner spot.
The garden does a lot of the heavy lifting too. Hot tub? Tick. Outdoor dining? Tick. Countryside views? Also tick. Inside, there’s a games room for a bit of friendly competition and huge social spaces designed for keeping everyone together. Relaxed, spacious and made for memorable group getaways.
Hill House Farm, Northamptonshire
Hill House Farm feels like a place designed for getting everyone together without anyone being on top of each other. Sleeping 10 guests across five bedrooms, it mixes cosy character with plenty of room to spread out. Think original features, wood burners and big social spaces where long dinners can drift into late-night chats without anyone checking the time.
The standout feature has to be the Party Barn. Soundproof and kitted out with a bar, pool table, darts and comfy sofas, it gives your group an extra place to hang out when the evening gets going. Spacious, relaxed and made for memorable group stays.
6 Bed Cottage, Portishead, Somerset
Some places are built for celebrations and this one leans right into it. Sleeping up to 14 guests in a 500-year-old cottage, it mixes character and comfort without feeling stuffy. Original beams, cosy corners and big social spaces give everyone room to settle in, whether that means long dinners, catch-ups over coffee or stretching out on the sofa for the evening. Better still, hen parties are welcome here, so there’s no second-guessing when it comes to planning your celebration.
The extras help keep things interesting too, with a hot tub, games room and private gardens adding even more space to enjoy together. Relaxed, sociable and made for memorable group weekends.
The Bunkhouse, Hexham, Northumberland
If your idea of a group getaway involves fresh air by day and plenty of laughs by night, The Bunkhouse delivers. Sleeping up to 20 guests and welcoming hen parties, this eco-friendly retreat is set up for sociable stays from the start. The open-plan layout keeps everyone together, with a spacious dining and living area where plans are made, stories get shared, and evenings tend to run a little longer than expected.
There’s more than countryside views on offer too. A pool table, fire pit, woodland bar and sauna add to the fun, while Kielder Forest and walking trails are right on the doorstep. Big on atmosphere and built for memorable group weekends.
Cherry Tree House, Blackpool, Lancashire
Cherry Tree House keeps group weekends simple, and all within the hen party mecca of Blackpool. Sleeping up to 14 guests and welcoming hen parties, this former guest house has the sort of setup that works brilliantly when everyone wants to stay together without sacrificing their own space. Each bedroom has its own en-suite, plus extras like mini fridges and tea-making facilities, meaning no morning queues or battles over bathroom time.
There’s plenty for the group once the day winds down too. A private bar area, hot tub and large dining space make it easy to settle in for the evening, while Blackpool’s famous attractions, bars and seafront are all close by. Fun, sociable and ready-made for celebration weekends.
Now your group chat has a few more ideas to work with, all that’s left is choosing where the celebrations are heading. If these have sparked a few favourites already, take a look at more of our hen party houses and find the perfect place for your next weekend away.
